this is so awesome DJmat. Thank you for inspirational prize for everyone!
On Time Drawings:
I am so impressed with you wonderful swappers that I cut & packaged 500 2.5" charms (different fabric from my current birthday swap batch) to award a lucky swapper! I will request the on time & delayed delivery count from Barb.
Each on time swapper gets 2 chances to win & others get 1 chance to win all 500 charms. Barb is eligible, too! Everyone in the birthday swap will have a chance to win!!!, except me, of course!
The winning name will be drawn at the swap mid-point, July 31[SUP]st[/SUP], & mailed the next day!
NOTICE: From my new stash there will be a special drawing at the end of February 2018 of 20 new fat quarters! Only those who send August through February ON TIME will qualify for the FQ drawing. The FQ winner will be drawn & mailed the day after the last February birthday! Only on time swappers are eligible for the FQ drawing, including Barb.
I hope this inspires mailing early. Thanks for helping me reduce my burgeoning stash. Now I'm off to select 20 FQs from two tubs of new fabric!
hugs,
dj

I want to apologize to all the Birthday Swap Members (I've already apologized to our hostess Barbarakibler23) for ruining the surprise of the monthly Birdie Blocks when I posted them earlier in this thread. I really meant them as a thank-you to show you all how I was using your Birthday gifts to me. But I obviously ruined the fun for the whole group at my selfish expense. I am soooooo sorry. I will not post the Dec, Jan and Feb Birdie blocks as well as the 20 other blocks I made until the swap is over. Happy Birthday Everyone.........Jane Quilter

Didn't know there were so many young whippersnappers in this group. I wasn't around during World War II, but I am a senior baby boomer. The muscle girl is Rosie the Riveter. She was a WWII poster girl honoring the women who took factory jobs to supply the military with airplanes, munitions, and just about everything else during the war.
Eleanor Burns has a book for a WWII quilt where she talks about Rosie.

Oh, you ladies who are visiting Lake Powell. Makes me homesick. Sniff. I lived in Page and graduated from Page High School, lo those many years ago. I miss it so much!!
Back in the "good old days" before it became such a tourist mecca with multiple marinas on the lower end, it was a great place for us bored high school kids to go hang out. Swimming, lazing on the red rocks, getting into trouble away from the prying eyes of parents and the local law enforcement.... ooops. Didn't mean to let slip that little gem!

Our time in the desert was along Lake Mohave which is just below Hoover Dam and it was one of the things we loved about the desert home was our access to Lake Mohave via our pontoon.
One of the things that we heard from the Rangers was that the water levels were up to levels not seen for nearly 20 years. But the 'bath tub' rings from previous water levels were still 60 feet from when it was at it highest. We were told that one of the reasons along with drought was the desire to preserve Rainbow Bridge so water levels would never be as high as that again.
Our son's house boat is kept at Bull Frog marina, some of our friends stayed on a house boat at Page marina.
MisMelly you made me laugh at the prying eyes comment!
